Device Discovery

Device Discovery is now located in the Configuration Monitor on the Risks tab for the JSA Risk Manager versions discussed in this technical note. Device Discovery streamlines adding network devices through network management appliances, such as Check Point Management Servers, Palo Alto Panorama, Juniper NSM, or by crawling the network with SNMP for discoverable IP addresses. The Device Discovery functions in JSA Risk Manager allow users to set up multiple networks and run discovery to automatically add new firewalls, IPS, and other network devices so they can be backed up and added to the Topology. It is important that administrators do not add overlapping address ranges or CIDR addresses when discovering devices to prevent duplicates.
